The volatile compounds at the core of Lauren Camp s second book are poems of the coiled environment and tremendous loss. Here, the pious sober day solemnly descends / on undamaged desert. The poet claims every frayed moment, every taut mystery, and delivers these with sound-sense wisdom. Only an artist could show human frailty in this way. The thin line between right and otherwise is a fuse that ignites the author, who finds lyricism in mourning and erotic meaning in music. As she writes, perhaps wryly, perhaps optimistically, either we re standing in disordered light before the disappointment, or it s after. The Dailiness offers precision paired with undeviating attention to all the human senses
